Now that the gift-giving holiday is over – what did you all get? What I already got: A buddy of mine gave me two great software packages for my Mac – OmniGraffle and OmniOutliner Pro. Look for a full review in the coming weeks! What I am getting soon: As I stated before, I’m getting…
so with the new Intel-based Macs, you can do what is called virtualization. Which is a fancy word that means you can run Windows on a mac or some other OS (like linux). There are two main routes – Parallels Desktop for Mac and this VMWare app. Anyone have any thoughts/experiences to share?

I’ve been holding out on buying a new TV for news exactly like this. Vizio is going to soon release a 47″ sub-$2000 LCD. Hold on while I wipe the druel from my chin. OK I’m back. Anyways – I was looking at the GV42L but this new mystery box might be right up my…

Anyone own a smart phone? I’ve been looking hard at the Blackberry Pearl, pictured below. But I’m stuck with Verizon (read: their phones aren’t as cool).
